Blood Suckers from Hell
Rumi speaking to a crowd muses:
Watch out for those blood suckers from hell--
cause they're everywhere.
And the crowd wisely retorts:
That sounds serious--What do they look like, any hints;
Are they usually disguised?
Rumi again: Yes, usually, they are awfully tricky!
"How then to detect them?"
Well,
I have noticed
their eyes will narrow and their faces begin to squint
like prunes
if they hear good
poetry.
